sounds good man let us know

So i got the rear bar on, only one hole tho. i gotta get the plate welded. Pics will be up tomorrow cuz im at a friends house now. lol. All you gotta have to get the front +rear on is a good welder+a good cutting tool. Front is gonna be tricky cuz i gotta get wires outta the way.

Better have pics tomorrow Tim hahaha.

im at another friends house working on his conquest so... during a break ill see bout getting em up...

Also you can see i had to cut the jack support or w/e the hell it is to make it fit other that thats it.

Didn't you have to cut the rear jack support to fit that?

As far as strut bars go, I have one of the few remaining Ractive front bars. Direct bolt-on for the 3g. Sadly they haven't been made for years :(

I also have a "Justin" rear strut bar... basically a modified 4th gen bar. Works nicely, hard as hell to install.

Yeah i had to sadly cut up the jack support a bit but still strong enough to jack up the car still.

I don't see the point in using a lower rear tie bar on our cars. They make them for the civic because the LCAs attach to the unibody instead of a crossmember. You're probably going to be bending control arms before getting any notable flex in that crossmember. Looks nice though.

I havent bent nothing. Like i said i havent notice anything just looks nice. if you have a extra 20 bucks then go for it. maybe if you get a Rear strut bar then go ahead.

lol i forgot to tell my buddy to send me the pics.. im dumb...

Pics!!! better late then never..

hehe... need to get another inch cut then get some welding done. The fronts need to have the tabs cut off like the rear ones closer to the hole tho, and then welded on going like 2-4 cm on each side. The center hole is fine.

Hope this helps someone.

nice man nice

thanks. I need to get around to welding the tabs on. If i put the cam in this weekend(hehe) then ill prob get around to welding the stuff on/cutting the fronts to fit. :)
